======================================================================================
INSTALLATION:
[x] Install StartIsBack from exe provided:
-> StartIsBack\StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe
If you want to download the program to ensure it's safe, you can visit
-> https://startisback.com/#download-tab
NOTE: This activator was tested with v2.9.19. If you download
a newer versions from the site, it may or may not work.
[x] Once installed, close out the StartIsBack program window if open.
[x] Launch the provided patch utility:
-> StartIsBack\SIBActivator.exe
A User Account Control (UAC) prompt will appear and ask:
"Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher
to make changes to your device?"
It will give you the options YES or NO.
Select YES
The activator is requesting this permission to run as admin because
the activator must stop the process "Explorer.exe" for a short period of
time. This is required because StartIsBack ties into your Explorer.exe
process and the patch cannot be applied while StartIsBack is actively being
used by other processes.
Explorer.exe will be restarted as soon as the patch has completed its work.
[x] In the activator, click the "PATCH" button to the far left.
The activator will automatically search for the installation location of
StartIsBack.
The activator searches for StartIsBack in following locations:
-> Windows Environment Variable PATH
-> C:\Program Files\StartIsBack
-> C:\Program Files (x86)\StartIsBack
-> C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\StartIsBack
-> SIBActivator.exe directory (Where the patcher was executed from)
-> Final search using Powershell "where" command
If you don't have the StartIsBack files in any of the above locations, the
patcher will inform you that it cannot find StartIsBack.
You will then need to click the "MANUALLY LOCATE DLL" button and search for
the location of the file
-> StartIsBackCfg.exe
[x] You will see your start menu and taskbar disappear for a brief moment while
the patch takes place. Don't worry, your start menu and taskbar will
re-appear.
[x] After a successful patch has been applied, you can close out of the
activator and re-launch StartIsBack.

ABOUT ACTIVATOR:
I write my own apps in C#. They contain no malware, no annoying music,
and no ads. They don't even communicate with your internet.
If you want to view the entire source code to the activator provided in
this release, you can view it on Github:
-> https://github.com/Aetherinox/startisback-activator
My official apps are signed with my certificate. To confirm it is
mine and unedited; right-click on SIBActivator.exe, click PROPERTIES,
and then click the DIGITAL SIGNATURE tab.
The exe should be digitally signed by "Aetherx" with the thumbprint:
-> "70575bdfb02b3f1b45a37431bef9a8c9933a4ace"
If SIBActivator.exe is not signed; DO NOT USE IT. Download the official one on
my Github page from the link above. I do this to discourage someone from taking
my source code and trying to add their own crap and re-distribute it.
Newer versions of my patches include a signature verification feature. To access
this, open the patcher and in the top menu, navigate to:
-> Help -> Validate Signature
======================================================================================
VERIFY:
View SHA256.sig.asc to verify the checksum of these files.
Signature files are signed with the GPG Key:
-> CB5C4C30CD0D4028
The exe is digitally signed by "Aetherx" with the thumbprint:

PROTECTION:
Torrents are a great way of sharing with the community. However, there
are uploaders with less than generous intentions.
Remember that if you're testing a release out, it's ALWAYS recommended
to try the app out on a virtual machine first. This should be a standard
practice with anyone involved software.
The program "Virtual Box" is free and can be downloaded from the
official websites:
-> https://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
A lot of us share in order to give to the community, and stand up
against corporations taking advantage of the customer. However, not
everyone has the same objectives.
Stay safe
